No kidding !!

Never thought I'd see something about that band here!
Are we the only ones old enough to remember the hit?

Good image of the flower, BTW.

Jethro Tull rocked, and of course there was nobody with that name in the band. But we did not care back then. Probably still do not care. Jethro rocked!

Well, aside from being a kick-ass band, they were named for a British agriculturist that lived from 1674 to 1741. He pioneered mechanized agriculture. I'm pretty sure this coreopsis was named for the latter... but, who knows? It might be named for the band.

Ian Anderson and the band are still alive and well. Not "Too Old To Rock 'N' Roll Too Young To Die". Jethro Tull

Always wondered about the origin of the name "Jethro Tull." I like your story.

I always thought of Jethro Tull as more a modernized version of the Englsih Minstral Tradition... and the Flute was always a big part of their style, my favourite, Living in the Past...
